This is a thread just for fun, but might also serve as a reading suggestions board.

I'll post all the titles that are on the bookshelf in the current masthead photo, but I thought it would be more fun if I offer you a tagline or a quote from the movie, and leave you to guess the title (of course, even without these spoiler tags, you may see the answer right on the picture, but that's not a point ;).

Posts are going to be a bit longish...
